FYI: Did you know that Sean only coughed up the Zoom password & meeting ID number after I told him that I recorded my conversations with his rude court staff and the call I was on with Sean? Oh and Sean was all upset that I called him on his work cell phone, wasn't he? He was, wasn't he?
Who wants to toss another monkey wrench into Casper's case? How do you do that you ask? The best way is to submit a Chapter 13 Data Request, isn't it? It is, isn't it?

P.S. Would you please provide me with the meeting ID number & passcode for the 1:15 PM 01/25/2021 Pre-trial Zoom hearing for Case No. 31-CR-20-1190 State of Minnesota vs John Scott Casper? Hmm? Inquiring minds want to know, don't they?
P.S.S. Don't you find it odd that Casper's attorney didn't file for sanctions against you for not providing Casper's subject data aka Discovery in the required ten (10) days?
P.S.S.S. Did you happen to provide John Casper with all the evidence of Good Old Boy Vic lying to LEO?
P.S.S.S.S. Your court staff were really rude on the phone today, weren't they?
Johnson claimed Williams was attacking him because they are running against each other for the position of sheriff. We reached out to Johnson via his Facebook page His attorney responded, and claimed whoever leaked the report may have violated state law, as no discipline for the matter has been handed down, and the investigation into the matter has not been finalized. ... We do not know who called for the report yet as calls and e-mails to Michelle Soldo’s office, the attorney behind the report, haven’t been returned.

Sheriff Williams did not want the matter to go outside the Office of the Sheriff. He reluctantly admitted this. (Tr. 125-26, 135, 711). It did and it has probably caused turmoil within the Sheriff’s Department. Cass volunteered that things of this nature can find a way into the next election campaign for the office of Sheriff. (Tr. 485). Grievant’s complaint called into question the conduct of the Cass, Hirt and the Sheriff. Decision and award.

I conclude that Cass’ denial that she said she wanted the meeting recorded and her claim that they watched the meeting to keep an eye on Witkofsky are not credible. For these reasons, where her testimony conflicts with that of other witnesses on relevant matters, I will give it little weight. BMS Case 16-PA-0697 In the matter of Arbitration between Itasca County Employees Association, Union and County of Itasca, Office of the Sheriff, Employer https://mn.gov/bms/documents/BMS/127581-20160811-Itasca.pdf
Her testimony is clouded by her personal dislike of Grievant, and her attempt to testify in a manner most beneficial to the Employer’s position. She felt it would look bad if she and the Sheriff had discussed the content of their complaints, so she simply denied it. For these reasons, where Hirt’s testimony conflicts on relevant matters with the testimony of others, I do not find her to be credible.

Sheriff Williams’ testimony is also crucial to this case. … But as I have found, this is not the reason that Cass wanted to watch and listen to the conversation. When Cass and Hirt reported what they had observed on November 24, he did not question the means they had used to obtain this information. He did not ask them how Witkofsky appeared or whether there was a sign that she was better or worse. The Sheriff knew that what Cass and Hirt had done had nothing to do with keeping an eye on Witkofsky. I reject his claim to the contrary. I believe this colors all of his testimony. Where it conflicts with that of other witnesses on relevant matters, I will give it little weight.

After an independent investigation, criminal charges were brought against one of the individuals who attempted to record or listen to Bliss’s conversation. Id. at 3. The charges were eventually dismissed without prejudice; however, the criminal investigation is still pending, and has been turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (“FBI”). Id. Page No. A17-0529 April 10, 2017 State of Minnesota Court of Appeals, Michael Bliss, Respondent/Plaintiff, v. Itasca County, Petitioner/Defendant. Respondent’s response to petition for discretionary review. Trial Court Case No. 31-CV-16-3257 Judge Paul E. Rasmussen.
On November 16, 2015, while preparing for trial in the above matter, the State became aware of new information regarding the role of Itasca County Sheriff Victor Williams may have played in the incident that led to charges in the case. This information was contained within hundreds of pages of transcript from an internal investigation provided by the defense. Specifically, Sheriff Williams made statements that are self-incriminating in nature. Further Sheriff Williams allegedly made admissions against his interest to at least two other people. The scope of the internal investigation was limited to whether the defendant and Chief Deputy Hirt committed misconduct. Accordingly, it appears from the investigative report generated as a result of the internal investigation that the self-incriminating statements allegedly made by Sheriff Williams were never followed up on. In an attempt to verify that fact, the State requested a copy of Sheriff Williams statement from the internal investigation from the defense. The State was told that defense counsel did not believe a statement have been taken from Sheriff Williams. It also appears from the investigative report that the witnesses Sheriff Williams allegedly made admissions against his interest to were not interviewed. This new information, especially when considered in the context of what can reasonably be characterized as multiple ongoing attempts by Sheriff Williams to steer and influence the outcome of the independent criminal investigation into this incident by an outside agency, causes the State great concern. ... The prosecutor, as an officer of the court, and with the duty to seek justice, has an obligation to further investigate the role of Sheriff Victor Williams played in the incident that occurred in the Itasca County Sheriff's office on November 24, 2014 that led to these charges.
